Guest Pick: None this week (15-6)

 

No. 15 Kansas State vs. No. 6 Oklahoma

Jake Calhoun: Oklahoma — Bill Snyder remembers the Trail of Tears like it was yesterday.

Dean Berhow-Goll: Oklahoma — Don’t get me wrong, I love Collin Klein, but Landry Jones is prime for a coming out party.

Alex Halsted: Oklahoma — Boomer Sooner. Oklahoma wins this one in a high-scoring game.

Stephen Koenigsfeld: Oklahoma — College football fans really win in this one. Going to be a hard-fought game. Sooners by three.

No. 18 Michigan vs. No. 11 Notre Dame

Calhoun: Notre Dame — Catholic School USA vs. Denard. This should be a good game.

Berhow-Goll: Michigan — Upset city! Love me some Denard Robinson.

Halsted: Notre Dame — This may be the season Notre Dame finally lives up to the expectations it’s given each year.

Koenigsfeld: Notre Dame — Saturday night mass should be over before this game kicks off.

No. 2 LSU vs. Auburn

Calhoun: LSU — Gene Chizik’s seat is hotter than his checkbook was after Cam Newton’s campus visit.

Berhow-Goll: LSU — Chizik’s about to be as involved in football as Tyrann Mathieu this year.

Halsted: LSU — Gene Chizik is lucky to have eeked out a victory against Louisiana-Monroe last week.

Koenigsfeld: LSU — Tigers versus Tigers. I choose the Tigers to come out on top.

California vs. No. 13 USC

Calhoun: USC — There will be more bros at this game than there were at Dean’s tanning party.

Berhow-Goll: USC — My bros and I still love Matt Barkley.

Halsted: USC — It’s unfortunate for Cal that USC lost last week. Lane Kiffin hates the media, and his team isn’t very happy either following the loss.

Koenigsfeld: USC — Trojans are coming off a hard loss. Looking for a rebound against what should be an easy win.

Colorado vs. Washington State

Calhoun: Washington State — Two awful teams in the Pac-12 actually makes for a very watchable game for me. Plus I love Mike Leach Wazzu.

Berhow-Goll: Washington State — #FireCraigJames

Halsted: Washington State — Neither team is very good, but Colorado is terrible. Plus, how can you pick against Mike Leach?

Koenigsfeld: Washington State — If Wazzu wins, I’ll take Mike Leach’s dating advice.

Rutgers vs. Arkansas

Calhoun: Rutgers — Even Tyler Wilson thinks Rutgers is going to win.

Berhow-Goll: Arkansas — Tyler Wilson returns and gives the Razorbacks a much needed lift.

Halsted: Rutgers — A Big East team beating a team from the SEC? Never thoughts I’d do that. But I never thought Arkansas would get beat by Louisiana-Monroe.

Koenigsfeld: Arkansas — As long as Tyler Wilson doesn’t call dibs on all-time offense, Arkansas will come out on top.

No. 10 Clemson vs. No. 4 Florida State

Calhoun: Florida State — Pam Ward is to ACC football what Jar Jar Binks is to Star Wars.

Berhow-Goll: Florida State — Giving it to the home team. Watch Xavier Rhodes match up with Sammy Davis for two future NFLers.

Halsted: Florida State — Close game, but I’m taking the home team to prevail.

Koenigsfeld: Florida State — I laughed when some said Florida State would be the national champions. Now, I’m only snickering.
